Новый альбом Yoko.

А про меня ещё говорят, что я фанат Битлов и поклонник всего, что с ними связано! У меня нет НИ ОДНОГО альбома Йоко, и покупать я их не собираюсь.
Извините, если кого обидел.

Подчёркиваю: это моё мнение. А то сейчас опять начнётся...

The new dance mix LP, "Walking On Thin Ice" is climbing Billboard's Dance Music/Club Play charts. In its fifth week on the charts, in the April 12, 2003 edition, WOTI was at #10, a jump up from the previous week's #15.

"...like all her best work, "Walking on Thin Ice" not only invites its audience to participate—by hitting the dance floor—it requires using the imagination" / A great review article by Seattle Weekly

Классная статья! Жаль у нас пока этот сингл не продается. Ничего, скоро у кое-кого появится карта и закажем. Эта вещь и в виниле была супер, я представляю какой будет данс-микс!
Ударим по димонам новым синглом Йоко!

Взял все таки сингл Walking On Thin Ice!
Большая удача!

P.S. Сидим сейчас с Монстром66 рядом с Пурпурным Легионом в кафе emax и наслаждаемся пивом!

Lemon Lennon, а где взял, почем? Какой состав сингла?

Я приобрел его в Пурпурном Легионе, цена 338 рублей.

Walking On Thin Ice (Ono)
A remix CD of Yoko Ono's song from 1981. Includes the following remixes: Pet Shop Boys Radio Mix, Danny Tenaglia Vocal Mix, Pet Shop Boys Electro mix, Felix Da Housecat Club Mix), Rui Da Silva Club mix, Pet Shop Boys Club Mix, Peter Rauhofer Electro Mix, The Orange Factory Radio Mix, FKEK Vocal Mix and Peter Rauhofer Chill Mix. To be released in the US on March 25th 2003

Любопытно, что помимо этих миксов, выпущены еще дополнительные, они присутствуют только на виниловых макси синглах.

Ранее выходили следующие варианты:

Walking On Thin Ice (45) - CD Walking On Thin Ice
Walking On Thin Ice - CD Ono Box
Walking On Thin Ice - CD Season Of Glass
Walking On Thin Ice (Extended Version)- Series I Issue I
Walking On Thin Ice (Promo) - Cape Clear
Walking On Thin Ice (Alt.mix) - The Lost Lennon Tapes Radio

Значит это сингл макси примакси. 9 ремиксов так? Какие еще существуют? Как впечатления. Вообще хочется выяснить ситуацию с нахлынувшими ремиксами, какие синглы вышли, в каких форматах, где и что можно достать. а то у меня есть только Open Your Box - парлфонский кд-сингл с тремя orange factory ремиксами

10 ремиксов - продолжительность около 72 минут.
Общее впечатление - очень неплохо, чем то напоминает Wingspan Remixes.

YOKO ONO AT 70
The Daily Mirror

Yoko released "Walking On Thin Ice" as a 45RPM after John Lennon's death. John and Yoko had been working on the track at the Hit Factory recording studio in New York when John was killed in December, 1980.

The front of the picture sleeve for the vinyl single is as shown at left. The back of the sleeve has the same wintry design, with a note from Yoko as follows:

FINISHING NOTE:

John and I were gloriously happy in the first week of December. "Double Fantasy" was in the top ten. It was just a matter of time for it to go up to number one since we still had two weeks to Xmas and it was selling well. We kept saying, "We did it, we did it," and hugged each other. "What are we going to do when it's number one, John?" "I'll take you out to dinner." "That's a date?" "That's a date." That meant dressing up time: John in his suit and me in drag. He would put the diamond pin on his lapel, a birthday present from me. Then we would end up going to a quiet, dark restaurant where nobody could see us except us. But that was our idea of fun. "Mother, help me put this diamond pin on, will you?" I hear him saying.

"Yoko, you paid your dues, and you produced a top ten record. Don't let them kick you around anymore. When you talk to them, just remember that. They have to respect you now. Just look tem in the eye and say I'm to a top ten artist, in your mind, okay?" he said, over and over again. "Don't worry, John. I look them in their eyes anyway." "That's because you're crazy," he laughed. "But you're a commercial success now, Yoko; you don't know what that means. It means dollars and cents, and they understand that." "Sure, John."

"Walking On Thin Ice" was what we were remixing that night. The past weekend we had listened to the song all day and night. It was as if we were both haunted by the song. I remember I woke up in the morning and found John watching the sunrise and still listening to the song. He said I had to put it out right away as a single. He wanted to be on the B-side of it. I didn't think that was wise. "Nobody's going to listen to the A-side then." "Hey, I've got a good idea. How about sending just the A-side to the DJs and keep the B-side a total secret until it's sent to the shops?" "Nice try, John. You know it's not going to work." Later, John agreed with me. "You're probably right. We have to put you out as a solo artist."

In our minds we were a team. In the world's mind it was John Lennon and his Missus who got lucky. I caught him looking at the grey streak in my hair. He caught me looking at his cheekbones. We were old soldiers. "Let's really give it to them. Let's make it a rule that we won't release any photo of us unless we are kissing or looking at each other." "That'll really go down well, I bet," I laughed. He laughed, too, looking pleased that he made me laugh. The family who laughs together stays together, I thought.

"It Happened" was a song John loved. "It's a hit." "No way." "You wanna bet? I'll make it a hit," he said. I remember thinking "Why this one?" John had found the song amongst my old tapes two weeks before the night.

Getting this together after what happened was hard. But I knew John would not rest his mind if I hadn't. I hope you like it, John. I did my best.

Остались ли в миксах гитара и клавишные Леннона?

Хорошая ссылка. Так куда же делись YangYang и Kiss Kiss Kiss? Почему эти синглы недоступны? Где они вообще выпускались и продавались? (И в каком формате?)

Монстр66! мне это как личное принять? Типа наезда или что за хрень?"Ударим по димонам новым синглом Йоко!"

Dimon, вы чего в Питере добрых битловских шуток не понимаете?!!

Евгений Соколов
Я могу ответить про Yang Yang. Выходила в 1973 на сингле DEATH OF SAMANTHA (на B-side), а также была на альбоме APPROXIMATELY INFINITE UNIVERSE

Евгений Соколов, а если речь идет о танцевальных ремиксах, то оба эти сингла выходили в 2002, но я никогда и ни у кого их не видел, страшный раритет!
